Charges Dropped In Fake Boarding Pass Case

An anonymous reader writes, "Investigators have dropped the criminal case against Christopher Soghoian after satisfying themselves that he acted without criminal intent. The grad student had created a web site capable of printing fake airline boarding passes. Soghoian is quoted: 'If they fix the airport security problems... then this entire process has been worth it. If they don't fix airport security, then... what was the purpose?'" Soghoian's blog has insightful comments about the divide between security researchers and government officials on subjects such as TOR.

    The grad student had created a web site capable of printing fake airline boarding passes. Bin Laden is quoted: 'If they fix the airport security problems... then this entire process has been worth it. Because I blew up two more towers. If they don't fix airport security, then... what was the purpose?'"

    It's ok to be Arab on a plane. Rags don't get their turbans checked. They don't get checked at all.

    Meanwhile, genuine citizens get shaken down by the TSA and called terrorist.

    100% of the people that have have ever caused harm on an airline have been ragheads.

    It's not racial profiling. It's a description of the suspect. :D fuck rags.
